Parking Lot Variance (length of major driveway access aisle)
This item is on the November 19, 1996 City Commission agenda under Public Hearing as
continued from the October 15, 1996 City Commission meeting.
DESCRIPTION: Land Design South, agent for Bill and Elsie Winchester, property owner,
is requesting a variance to the City of Boynton Beach Land Development Regulations,
Chapter 23 - Parking Lots, Article II, Paragraph H - Driveways, Subsection 5, Clearance
at major driveways, to reduce the required distance of the interior access aisle to the
driveway on Old Boynton Road from 100 feet to 65 feet. The PCD zoned property, to be
known as Boynton Commons, is located t the southwest corner of Congress Avenue and
Old Boynton Road.
RECOMMENDATION: At the October 8, 1996 Planning and Development Board meeting,
and the October 15, 1996 City Commission meeting, this hearing was postponed at the
request of the applicant to redesign the driveway off of Old Boynton Road. Since those
meetings, the applicant has submitted two different driveway designs. The second
driveway design goes before the Technical Review Committee on November 19, 1996.
If this second design is acceptable to staff, the variance will be withdrawn by the applicant.
However, until that happens this already advertised public hearing needs to be continued
to the December 3, 1996 City Commission meeting, and announced as such.

Planning and Zoning Director
FROM: Michael E. Haag
Current Planning Coordinator
DATE: October 2, 1996
SUBJECT: Boynton Commons PCD - PKLV 96-005
Parking Lot Variance (length of major driveway access aisle)
NATURE OF REQUEST
Chapter 23 - Parking Lots, Article I, Paragraph 3.B.3.d. of the City of Boynton Beach Land
Development Regulations, requires that when a variance to the parking lot regulations is
requested, the Technical Review Committee (TRC) must forward to the City Commission
a recommendation that is to be made part of the public record. This change in parking lot
variance procedure requiring Commission action only became effective with the 1995
adoption of unified land development regulations. Although, Planning and Development
Board action is not required, in cases where review by the Board will not lengthen the
approval process (such as this request), the Commission is desirous of receiving the
Board's recommendation.
Land Design South, agent for Boynton Commons Corporation, contract purchaser of the
land to be developed as Boynton Commons, is requesting a variance to the City of
Boynton Beach Land Development Regulations, Chapter 23 - Parking Lots, Article II,
Paragraph H - Driveways, Subsection 5.
H. 5. "Clearance at major driveways. The minimum distance from the
street right-of-way line at any major ingress or egress driveway to any
parking stall or to any interior access aisle having direct access to
such driveway shall be one hundred (100) feet."
Boynton Commons is located at the southwest corner of Congress Avenue and Old
Boynton Road (see Exhibit "A" - location map and Exhibit "B" - proposed site plan).
BACKGROUND
This request is being processed in connection with an application for site plan approval for
the Boynton Commons, Planned Commercial District (PCD), retail center. The variance
request is to allow the clearance distance to the closest interior access aisle at the major
driveway located on Old Boynton Road to be 65 feet, rather than the code required 100
feet. Therefore, the length of the driveway access aisle between the south side of the Old
Boynton right-of-way line and the adjacent interior access aisle having direct access to the
driveway aisle will be reduced 35 feet from the required 100 foot distance. The subject
driveway is a one-way, right turn in only driveway, rather than a right turn in and right turn
out only driveway that was associated with an August 20, 1996 parking lot variance for this
same area of the site and section of the code (file number PKL V 96-003). This variance
voids the previous variance which was processed concurrently with an application for a
I

Memorandum No. 96-501
Boynton Commons PCD
PKLV 96-005
substantial modification to the Boynton Commons PCD master plan (rezoning), file number
REZN 96-001 also approved on August 20, 1996. Other modifications to the master plan
depicted on the proposed site plan include a reconfiguration of the northwest building. This
reconfiguration of the building required a change to the layout of the vehicle use area
located on the north side of the building, causing the omission of an access aisle
connection which allowed vehicles to circle the building (see attached Exhibit "C" -
approved master plan; approval conditions not yet reflected on this plan).
ANALYSIS
A copy of the parking lot variance application submitted by the applicant has been provided
in Exhibit "D". It includes the applicant's statement of justification.
On Tuesday, September 24,1996, the Technical Review Committee (TRC) reviewed the
plans and documents submitted (see Exhibit "B" - proposed site plan delineating the
proposed major access aisle driveway). The committee raised the following safety issues
regarding traffic flow where the in-only driveway aisle intersects the interior access aisle:
1. At the northwest corner of the north parking area located on the north side
of the Walgreens building east bound traffic needs to be precluded from
entering the parking area by reducing the width of the access aisle opening
to 15 feet wide, shaping it with a south bound radius similar to the drive-thru
exit and placing "Do Not Enter" signs facing traffic traveling east and
southeast from the Old Boynton Road driveway.
2. Change the traffic flow along the north side of the Walgreens building from
two-way to two lanes south bound.
3. Reposition the dumpster located on the west side of the Walgreens tenant
space to allow the approach from the north rather than from the south side.
4. Move the dumpster enclosure to the south, as far as possible, to allow a
longer stacking area behind the sanitation vehicle servicing the dumpster
from the north.
RECOMMENDATION
The TRC recommends approval of the variance request as depicted on Exhibit "B", subject
to the recommendations above. The attached Exhibit "E" enumerates all conditions of
approval recommended by staff and other comments related to the driveway variance.
