Summary/Conclusions Appendix - Traffic Impact Analysis 5 7 7 8 9 9 11 .' 1. S1~ry of Pr""JLcs.a RequireJaents Based upon input from the City of Boynton Beach and a number of civic and cultural organizations a "wish list" of activities desired for multi-purpose facilities was prepared. This preliminary program totaled some 74,000 square feet, of which approximately 56,000 square feet comprises an "auditorium program" which would accommodate major sports activities (basketball, gymnastics, etc.) as well as cultural and civic events, meeting rooms, etc. The remaining 18,000 square feet comprises m.ore specialized activities and their related facilities. within the available.budget only the 56,000 square foot auditorium and multi-purpose rooms can be accommodated. The remaining 18,000 square feet of specialized facilities must therefore be treated as a second phase of construction. Thus, the building footprint for the initial phase of construction is approximately 1.3 acres. If and when the building is expanded, the building footprint expands to approximately 1.7 acres not including parking or open space. 2. S1~ry of ParJdnq Requ.i.re.ents The following are conclusions of parking demand analysis for each major program element. sports - Youth and Adult Activities - 25 cars sports - Special Events/Tournaments - 300 cars Major Performances - 500 cars Minor Events (Dances, Banquets) - 120 cars Dance StUdio/Exercise - 25 cars Arts & Crafts - 30 cars Music Rehearsal - 50 cars Because many of the above activities use the same spaces and would occur at different times, the parking demand numbers are not additive. The "worst case" would be associated with a capacity crowd of 1,500 persons attending a major performance concurrent with any other activity. Because the City of Boynton Beach could make schedule adjustments to eliminate such overlaps the minimum required parking is determined to be 500 spaces. However, it is acknowledged that some additional reserve capacity would be desirable. The "footprint" associated with the 500 parking space minimum is approximately 3.5 acres. 3. wini... site Requi.reaents Minimum site size requirements can be determined by adding together the parking and building "footprints" along with some reasonable factor for circulation and open space. Assuming a portion of the site would be reserved for future addition of special activity rooms, the total size requirements is approximately 6.0 to 6.5 acres. 1 4. Congress Avenue site Concept Figure 1 depicts a conceptual site plan for the facility at Congress Avenue community Park. At ~he west edge of the property is a wetland area which is assumed to be unsuitable for construction. To the south is a portion of the thirty acre site recently sold by the City for a radio facility. To the north is the existing tennis center depicted with the planned addition of eight courts. The multi-purpose facility is positioned in the approximate center of the property, on axis-with a new boulevard entrance from Congress Avenue located at the existing median cut. The building entrance is also on axis with an extension of the landscaped pedestrian mall which presently extends southward from the tennis center clubhouse. Just south of the entrance boulevard is a bermed and landscaped area provided as a visual buffer to the property to the south. Located in three large lots to the north and south of the multi-purpose building are three large parking lots which provide a total of some 670 parking spaces. This supply is considered more than adequate to meet the needs of the multi-purpose building as well as the expanded tennis center and other park activities. 5. Davntovn site Concepts Figures 2, 3 and 4 depict conceptual short-range, mid-range and long-range site plans for the development of the multipurpose building as part of the downtown governmental/civic complex. Each concept depicts the multi-purpose building on the site presently occupied by the Civic Center on the block bounded by Ocean Avenue, Seacrest Boulevard, S.E. 1st Avenue and S.E. 1st street. a. Short Ranqe Concept Figure 2 depicts a concept for the construction of the multi-purpose building which can be completed in the least amount of time and for the least cost. This objective is met by avoiding any immediate reliance on the acquisition of non-city owned properties including the elementary school and the fourteen condominium units at S.E. 1st street. The 56,000 square foot auditorium component is located mid-block between Seacrest Boulevard and S.E. 1st street with a main entrance facing a landscaped culdesac/drop-off area on Ocean Avenue. To the east and west of the building are new parking lots on the remainder of the Civic Center site providing a total of some 162 spaces. In order to meet the minimum requirement for 500 spaces some degree of joint use of existing City and school parking facilities is required. Based on an analysis of the total demands upon existing City parking facilities, the following 2 . ' ~ L-.. our.......,.. [- I II CONGRESS AVENUE TOT Al PARKING SPAceS-i;70 ~.

Existinq Facility Parking Garage ci ty Hall Lot East Lot West Lot Library . Madsen Center Tennis Center Total Spaces Spaces Available 140 51 60 23 59 17 41 90 o 60 23 o o ~ 173 TOTAL AVAILABLE - city Parking Thus, with the addition of these joint use spaces, a total parking supply of 335 spaces is available, 165 short of the required 500 spaces. However, some 48 spaces are available at the elementary school which, with a joint use agreement with the school board could be made available to meet peak demands. Thus available parking using existing and new City lots as well as school parking totals 383 spaces, 117 spaces short of the required 500. Three options are available to meet this deficit. Option 1: On-Street/Church Parking The least costly option is to utilize on-street parking in the immediate vicinity as well as the parking lot at the United Methodist Church across Seacrest Boulevard. Within two blocks of the site a total of 200 spaces are available on-street and at the Church. Although this option has no associated cost, it could contribute to periodic impacts in the immediate neighborhood. option 2: Provide A Garage At The East Lot The second option to meet the parking deficit is to construct a parking deck of at least three levels at the city's existing East Lot. Assuming a unit cost of $6,500 per space, total cost is estimated at $780,000. The present budget for the multi-purpose building cannot accommodate this additional cost. option 3: Acquire The Condominium Properties The third choice is to acquire the 14 condominium units to the east of the multi-purpose building. Using this property to expand the on-site parking provides for approximately 73 more spaces. However, a deficit of some 44 spaces would remain. Cost of acquisition and demolition is estimated to be $650,000, plus $73,000 for parking lot paving, producing a total cost of $723,000. 3 JJ lL - -- -===,=-~,~ -- J : =_CO.- -~ .

Mid Ranqe Concept The mid range concept is assumed to occur at such time that the school properties are transfered to the City and funds are available for the acquisition of the condominiums at S.E. 1st street. As depicted in Figure 3 the large school site is refurbished to house expanded special activities which the present multi-purpose building budget cannot accomodate. The smaller historic school building is shown transformed as a museum as currently proposed. Both structures are located in an extensively landscaped park-like setting which becomes a central amenity and theme for the entire civic/governmental complex. The elimination of the many portable structures on the school property will permit an expansion of parking facilities. In addition, the acquisition of the condominiums at S.E. 1st street is required to accommodate the expanded activities at the school buildings. Total parking available in this scheme is 559 spaces, not including on-street or church parking. c. Lonq Ranqe Concept The City of Boynton Beach has recently completed a long range concept for its governmental/civic complex which did not include consideration of the multi-purpose facility. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the consequences of locating the multi-purpose facility here and the probable need for incremental expansion of government facilities into the long term (beyond 1995) future. Figure 3 depicts a "buildout" condition which would accomodate two new City buildings facing Seacreast with facades continuous with and footprints similar to the existing engineering/planning building. It can reasonably be assumed that increased parking demand and land values will require that long range parking be provided in multi-level garages. This concept depicts two new garage structures located south of the planned structure, perhaps spanning Ocean Avenue. A key to the success of such an intense activity core is the creation of an effective internal pedestrian circulation system. Figure 3 depicts two future north- .south arcade walkways. One extends south from the existing engineering/planning building connecting to future city buildings between N.E. 1st Avenue and S.E. 1st Avenue and directly to the Library. The other north-south arcade is proposed to link the presently planned and future garages with the Madsen Center and tennis center to the south. 4 II ,I ~ .---dJ -II II ., I:' r Iii _--.Jjj -,\' " I If Jl III II, ~;~ =---' --1"': ~ It i 'I tn .

East-West pedestrian circulation is accomodated along Ocean Avenue which becomes pedestrianized with decorative paving, landscaping and fountains accenting and linking the entrances to the auditorium and renovated school buildings. A second east-west pedestrian connection is provided to the rear of the school buildings in a park-like setting just south of N.E. 1st street. The overall urban design result is the creation of a critical mass of civic activities creating an "urban edge" along Seacrest, Boynton Beach Boulevard and S.E. 1st street with an interior "courtyard park", the center-pieces of which are important landmarks in the City's history. 6. Eva1uation Criteria In order to facilitate a carefully reasoned selection of the appropriate site, seven criteria have been used to evaluate each. While the consultant team can objectively determine the relative "performance" of each site under these criteria, the final decision must be also determined by a largely subjective "weighting" of the relative importance of these criteria. A. Cost Considerations Perhaps the most important criteria for the site selection is the diffential in capital costs associated with the development of multi-purpose buidling. Because the Congress Avenue site is free of significant constraints and sufficient in size to accomodate the full development program, it is considered a baseline in terms of a comparison of capital costs. Therefore, any cost differentials will be associated with cost savings or additional expenditures uniquely associated with the downtown site. These differentials, described below relate to the specific time frames and assumptions' specified for each. Short Ranqe Cost Differentials The short range concept for the downtown site has a cost advantage associated with the value of jointly utilizing existing and planned parking facilities in the governmental/civic complex. In this concept 173 existing or planned spaces are utilized to meet the minimum requirement of 500 spaces. Assuming a cost of surface parking of $1,000 per space, this savings totals $173,000, assuming the same total number of spaces would be provided at the Congress Avenue site. This savings, however, is only realized if the City relies on on-street parking to gain the total of 500 parking spaces. Counter-balancing this savings on parking are extra costs associated with the demolition of the Civic Center and the temporary accomodation of these activities elsewhere. Demolition and site preparation costs are estimated to be $20,000. The cost of renting temporary replacement space is 5 .. estimated to total $110,000.* Based upon these assumptions the downtown site could result in a savings of $43,000 compared with the Congress Avenue site. However, this small savings could be consumed if it becomes necessary to provide longer term temporary facilities for those civic Center activities which cannot be accommodated in the new multi-purpose building. Therefore, the Congress Avenue and downtown sites can be considered approximately equal in terms of their short range capital cost implication. Mid Ranqe Cost Differentials The mid range cost differential calculation is based on two assumptions: First, that funds will be made available for the provision of the 18,000 s.f. of special activity rooms that the present budget cannot accomodate. In the downtown site this space will be accomodated by renovating the large school building and at the Congress Avenue site the large multi-purpose building will be expanded with new construction. Second, the condominiums on S.E. 1st Street will be acquired to expand available parking. The cost to renovate 18,000 square feet in the school building is estimated to be approximately $30/s.f. less than the cost of expanding the multi-purpose building at the Congress Avenue site. This produces a savings of approximately $540,000. The cost to acquire and demolish the 14 condominium units on S.E. 1st Street is estimated to total $650,000. Thus, on balance costs in mid range, under the assumptions herein described, are approximately $110,000 higher for the downtown site. However, again this cost differential is considered to be small relative to the total investments involved. Lonq Term Cost Differentials The only long term cost differential worthy of discussion is that associated with jointly utilizing parking required by the multi-purpose building. At the downtown site as expanding city buildings create new demands for parking, this joint utilization becomes increasingly valuable as scarce land resources require a conversion to expensive structured parking. However, at the Congress Avenue site the large number of parking spaces required * 10,000 s.f. @ $7.00/s.f. for 18 months plus $5,000 allowance for leasehold improvements. 6 to meet demands associated with special performance events will continue to be largely underutilized during daytime/weekday off- peak periods. Thus, the greater joint utilization of increasingly expensive parking facilities at the downtown location would give this site an important long range cost advantage. Summary: Short range cost advantage: Mid range cost advantage Long range cost advantage Downtown site (using on-street parking) Congress Avenue site Downtown site B. Operations/Loqistic Considerations operation and logistic considerations represent one set of criteria for which the Congress Avenue site has certain clear short term advantages. Because the multi-purpose facility at the downtown site displaces the existing civic Center, staff will be burdened with the need to locate appropriate temporary space, negotitate a lease and relocate staff and facilities. Upon completion of the multi-purpose facility (and/or the school renovation) these facilities and staff would again be relocated. During this process users and on-going programs would also be expected to experience some disruption. Similarly, because the civic Center would need to be vacated, demolished and cleared, the construction process is lengthened and complicated. Other complicating factors include the need to obtain an agreement with the school board to utilize their parking in the short range, and in the mid range the city must wait for the transfer of school property in order to provide for special purpose activity rooms. Also in the short or mid range the City must begin the process of acquiring the 14 condominiums on S.E. 1st Street. This process will not only consume considerable staff time, but also raises the possibility of litigation and resulting delays and legal fees. One final negative factor associated with the downtown site is the more complicated construction logistics on a small site with limited areas available for storage of materials and equipment. These disadvantages of the downtown site, however, are only related to the initial development process. After the problems associated with the school, condominiums and the existing civic center are resolved in the short and mid range, the consolidation of staff and parking at the downtown site could have certain operational advantages. c. Neiqhborhood (Traffic) Impacts Regardless of where the multipurpose facility is located, mid and long range traffic impacts are limited to short-term congested conditions associated with turning movements onto Congress Avenue and Seacrest/Boynton Beach Boulevard following 7 major events. Both sites will increase traffic volumes on Congress Avenue/Seacrest Boulevard, however, peak traffic impacts would occur after volumes drop on surrounding streets, and would be of short duration. In the short range, if the City relies on on-street parking to obtain the required 500 spaces, periodic neighborhood through-traffic impacts may occur. Although in the short range, neighborhood impacts may slightly favor the Congress Avenue site, if on-street parking is used, in the long range the advantage shifts to the downtown site. Because of.the age and condition of residential structures in the vicinity of the downtown site long range revitalization, redevelopment and perhaps intensification will likely be required. Proximity to major civic activities and amenities is likely to be an important advantage and catalyst for such re-investment surrounding the downtown site. D. Service/Accessibility Because both sites exist on or near major highway arterials only several miles apart, vehicular accessibility to both sites is considered very nearly identical. However, there are certain differences associated with the likely levels of service associated with each. - Because the downtown site historically has accomodated the city Hall, Library, Madsen Center, civic Center and Tennis Center, many residents are well accustomed to traveling to the downtown site for civic activities. Travel patterns are not as well developed for the Congress Avenue site. - Because of the urban development patterns surrounding the downtown site this location affords "walk to" opportunities which are not likely to exist at the Congress Avenue site. - Larger proportions of moderate income households having greater reliance on public sector recreation opportunities and on walk-to facilities reside east of I-95, nearer to the downtown site. - As westerly population growth continues to occur in the long range, many more residents will reside west of I-95 than reside to the east. As build-out occurs, the Congress Avenue site may be somewhat better positioned to serve this growth. Although both sites would provide entirely satisfactory levels of accessibility to the City as a whole, on balance the downtown site is considered more advantageous, at least in the short and mid range. However, in the long range this advantage may shift to the Congress Avenue as new residential development occurs at a considerable distance from downtown. 8 E. Economic Impacts Because of the size and type of use proposed for the mUlti-purpose building there will be no direct positive economic impacts, e.g. the multi-purpose building will not create a "market" sufficient to support new development. Similarly, because traffic impacts on adjacent neighborhoods are somewhat small, the multi-purpose building should not exert any significant negative influence on nearby property values at either site. Therefore, in the short and mid range few, if any, economic impacts should occur. However, in the long range the multi-purpose building in downtown could have some positive, indirect benefits. Specifically, as downtown redevelopment becomes successful, bringing new retail shops and restaurants in the vicinity of Ocean Avenue, the users of the multi-purpose building could become an important source of market support. Because of the short walking distance from the multi-purpose facility along Ocean Avenue to a revitalized historic downtown there exists an opportunity for patrons ta stroll to nearby shops and restaurants. Thus the multi-purpose facility could become the "anchor" for a higher level of pedestrian activity on Ocean Avenue in support of new commercial ventures. Because opportunities for "walk to" commercial development do not exist in the vicinity of the Congress Avenue, such positive economic benefits would not be realized. F. Policies/Intanqibles The decision on the location of the mUlti-purpose facility ought not to be made solely on the basis of the factors of cost and efficiency described above. This is particulary true where the application of such factors does not result in a clear preference. At least as important are a number of intangible values and implicit policies associated with the site decision. A Committment to Downtown vs. A Committment to the Suburbs In adopting a downtown redevelopment plan and in creating a Community Redevelopment Agency, the City of Boynton Beach has made an explicit committment to encourage downtown revitalization. From this demonstrated committment it could be construed that the City has an obligation to see to it that its own resources are devoted to the creation of a strong center. specifically, this could mean that all civic facilities which serve the entire population should be located in its center so as to assist in the creation of a "critical mass" of downtown activity which does not presently exist. A decision to locate the City's most important civic and cultural facility outside downtown defeats such a policy. 9 Imaqe As depicted in Figure 2 the multi-purpose facility at the Congress Avenue site is located in a spacious park-like setting. Like the tennis center, the appropriate design theme would reflect the image of modern, well planned suburban development. This spacious modern image contrasts with the rather cramped and fragmented conditions which would exist at the downtown site in the short range. However, in the mid and long range the downtown site could emerge an as integrated urban setting, a central civ.ic gathering spot with a strong sense of place and a high level of day and nighttime pedestrian activity. similary, with the restoration and re-use of the historic school buildings, the downtown civic space could be designed to reflect the best of old and new Boynton. The opportunity to create a true civic space in which there exists a strong sense of history and a critical mass of activity does not exist at the Congress Avenue site. Hiqhest and Best Use with the expanded library and other recreational activities to the south and with the school and government offices to the north, civic/governmental and cultural activities will remain the highest and best use of the civic center block. Thus, if the multi-purpose facility were to be located at Congress Avenue, the existing civic Center could become increasingly obsolete neighborhood-oriented facility. Conversely, if the multi-purpose building were located downtown, the Congress Avenue site could be utilized for a variety of active recreation uses including ballfields and perhaps other income-generating activities appropriate for a district park. Thus, placing the multi-purpose building downtown could allow the Congress Avenue site to become a true park, for which the property was originally dedicated. 10 7.

The focus of Laventhol & Horwath's research and analysis was directed towards the determination of possible impacts on the value of residential properties adjacent to and surrounding the subject sites. Through a program involving limited direct research, evaluation of the firm's. internal base of information on public facilities and associated economic impacts and worksessions with other members of the consulting team, Laventhol & Horwath concludes the following: Residential property values adjacent to and/or near the subject sites are not likely to be impacted positively or negatively, based on the scope of the facility proposed, the positioning of the alternative sites (downtown ad Congress Avenue) and the nature and frequency of Programs/activities envisioned for the proposed facility. Key factors supporting the foregoing conclusion include: The . variety and timing of activities programmed for the proposed facility do not result in sufficient potential direct market support for private spin-off development adjacent to or surrounding the property. .. -2- In the case of both sites, there is no substantive change in the fundamental land- use which might otherwise impact existing uses and/or development opportunities and constraints on adjacent properties. For example, existing and probable future use of the identified downtown site is public in nature with or without the proposed facility. Although there are no identifiable economic impacts noted which distinguish either of the alternative sites in the near-term, long-term considerations could favor the downtown site from an economic development standpoint. While the development of the proposed multi-purpose recreational facility does not represent a free-standing base of support for spin-off development, it may in combination with other development initiatives contribute to the potential revitalization of downtown Boynton Beach. The proposed facility complements the various administrative and other government functions in the downtown complex and could enhance the potential for this complex to serve as both a catalyst and an anchor for downtown development in the long-term.

'- J A,,'.ny>IJ' / WRT BOYBTOIf BEACH MULTI: -PURPOSE BUILDING Figures 1 and 2 depict conceptual short-range and mid-range site plans for the development of the multi-purpose building as part of the downtown governmental/civic complex. Both concepts depict the multi-purpose building on the site presently occupied by the civic Center on the block bounded by Ocean Avenue, Seacrest Boulevard, S.E. 1st Avenue and S.E. 1st street. Consideration has been given to the possibility of retaining the existing civic Center. However, this option was determined to be impractical and not cost-effective. In addition, consideration has been given to the possibility of constructing the multi-purpose building on more than one level. Because only spaces other than the large hall are capable of being "stacked", this option would produce a small net reduction in the building "footprint". The possibility of raising the entire building over a level of parking would result in increased construction costs greater than a nearby free-standing parking garage and therefore, is not considered advantageous. a. Short Ranqe Concept Figure I depcits a first phase of the development of the multi-purpose building and adjacent properties. This concept requires the demolition of the existing civic Center, the condominium units at S.E. 1st street and the existing Madsen Center, tennis courts and related parking south of S.E. 1st Avenue. All existing facilities and operation of the school are presumed to remain. The 56,000 square foot multi-purpose building is located mid-block between Seacrest Boulevard and S..E. 1st street with a main entrance facing a landscaped plaza/drop-off area on Ocean Avenue. To the east and west of the building are new parking lots on the remainder of the Civic Center and condominium sites providing a total of some 223 spaces. To the south a new parking lot on the Madsen Center site provides 90 spaces located in convenient proximity to the library. The previously planned library parking lots have been consolidated and expanded from 58 spaces to 80 spaces. Fifty of these spaces are presumed to be available to serve the multipurpose building. other changes made to the library site include a simplification of the driveway configuration and an expanded landscaped area at the entrance. Thus, between Ocean Avenue and S.E. 2nd Avenue new parking totaling some 363 spaces has been provided to serve the multipurpose building. North of Ocean Avenue the existing east lot (60 spaces), west lot (23 spaces) and 90 spaces in the new WRT parking garage are presumed to be available to meet the needs of the multi-purpose building. Thus, combined with the new parking lots south of Ocean Avenue, a total of 536 City owned, off-street spaces will be available. Further, if the existing 46 school parking spaces were assumed to be available to meet peak demands, the total available parking increases to 582 spaces. However, the City need not rely on such joint use of the school parking, nor does the City need to rely on on-street parking. Immediately to the south of the multi-purpose building is a mini-park designed to meet local recreation needs and provide a "soft edge" to the adjacent neighborhood. The centerpiece of the park is a north-south pedestrian mall located at mid-bloCk, on axis with the multipurpose building. The north end of the mall ends with a small plaza extending across S.E. 1st Avenue with special pavers to slow vehicular traffic. The south end of the mall also ends in a small plaza which functions as the "gateway" to the civic area from the neighborhood and also provides seating areas for parents supervising the adjacent community playground. Further east of the playground are two replacement tennis courts and a landscaped area at the corner of S.E. 1st street and S.E. 2nd Avenue. b. Mid-Ranqe Concept The mid-range concept is assumed to occur at such time that the school properties are transferred to the City. As depicted in Figure 2, the large school is refurbished to house special activities which the present multi-purpose building budget cannot accommodate. The smaller historic school building is shown transformed as a museum as currently proposed. Both structures are located in an extensively landscaped park-like setting which becomes a central amenity and theme for the entire civic/governmental complex. The existing east lot is reconfigured to increase parking from 60 to 84 spaces. Similarly, the west lot is expanded from 23 spaces to 84 spaces. However, the existing 46 space school lot behind the large school is eliminated and replaced with landscaping to enhance the grounds of the school buildings and to provide an improved "green edge" to the City administrative complex to the north. These parking alterations increase the total supply to 621 spaces available to meet the needs of the multi-purpose building and the renovated school buildings. c. Lonq Ranqe Concept The City of Boynton Beach has recently completed a long range concept for its governmental/civic complex which did not include consideration of the multi-purpose facility. Therefore, it is WRT necessary to consider the consequences of locating the multi- purpose facility here and the probable need for incremental expansion of government facilities into the long term future. A possible "buildout" condition could accommodate two new City buildings facing Seacrest Boulevard with facades continuous with and footprints similar to the existing engineering/planning building. It can reasonably be assumed that increased parking demand and land values will require that long range parking be provided in multi-level garages. Two new parking structures could extend southward from the garage presently under construction to S.E. 1st Avenue. Another important long range consideration relates to the potential for the multipurpose building and other civic functions to act as an eastern "anchor" of a revitalized downtown, linked by a pedestrianized Ocean Avenue mall. l J l r '-1 1 j) I I i J l I ..-', r- .
