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.

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 PUO (Planned
Unit Development), respectively. To prepare this property for use by
the school, the applicant is requesting that the property be rezoned
to R-lAA, 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 rlc=i=:. ~:.~: :;:. -::~.I :-capect to the transmittal and review of
small-scale land use plan amendments. This analyai8 will focua
primarily on consistency with the Citylscomprehensive 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 pun 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 school1s
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 comprehe.n~i."Q 1:)1~'." :,...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... ."
The following additional objectives, policies, and issues addressed
below are either typically referenced by the Florida n~partment 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.. .'1; 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
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 - liThe City shall,. ..protect all remaining areas of
substantial native upland and wetland vegetation and eliminate
undesirable eKotic 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 arp~. ~Q M~" ~~ M~t~ the current and future
uses of adj acent 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-af-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 R~~~~
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~mity to the
adjacent railroad and I-95 rights-of-way, and since it represents only
a minimal 11 unit decrease in planned housillg units, the proposed
~,." v._ _.____.__._..._..
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 re$jd~ntp wi" hA 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 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;
..~-.._.;.__ 'II
Memo No. 95-268

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 dny 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.

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 rasjop-ntA wi" b~ 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 mor..e durable
material than clay;

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
nthp1- l'flcreation 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 Dr nearby
properties;
v
r
,
H~.IIh.' lJl.'. :J'J-.:t.>ti
- }-
Jun~ 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 abo~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.

RE:
CEDAR RIDGE PUD REZONING
Dear Ms. Heyden:
The Palm Beach County Traffic Division has reviewed the traffic impact study for the
project entitled Cedar Ridqe Development Rezoninq, pursuant to the Traffic
Performance Standards in Article 15 of the Palm Beach County Land Development
Code. It is located on the east side of High Ridge Road, north of Miner Road. The
proposal is to rezone 10 single-family lots (6.4 acres) in the Cedar Ridge PUD to a
recreational land use. The intent of the rezoning is to relocate recreational facilities for
the Lake Worth Christian School. The traffic study shows a reduction in trips.
The Traffic Division has determined that the project meets the requirements of the Palm
Beach County Traffic Performance Standards. If the relocation of the recreational
facilities is intended to accommodate additional students in the future, the traffic
generated by the additional students will need to be addressed. If you have any
questions regarding this determination, please contact me at 684-4030.
Sincerely,
OFFICE OF THE COUNTY ENGINEER

Re: County Planning Division Review
City of Boynton Beach Comprehensive Plan Amendment
Clearinghouse Ref. #BOY-12
Dear Mr. Rumpf:
Thank you for proyiding Palm Beach County with thti oPPoi1unity to
review and comment on the proposed amendments to the City of
Boynton Beach's Comprehensive Plan. On behalf of Palm Beach
County, the Planning Division has completed an assessment of the
City's plan amendments pursuant to the requirements of Section
163.3184, Florida Statutes, and Rule 9J-11.008(12)(c) I Florida
Auministrative Code.
During our review of the land use amendment, we have found that it is
generally consistent Wi~:1 the adjacent future land uses. County
agencies did not identify any concerns regarding the amendmsi't
during their review. The Environme~tal ResoUices Management
Department (ERM) mentioned that vegetation preservation issues may
exist due to the scrub vegetation on the site. ERM also stated that jf
Gopher Tortoises are present on the property, the Florida Game &
Freshwater Fish Commission would have to provide approval before
any alterations to the property could occur.
Please be advised that these comments represent staff review and not
necessarily the position of the Board of County Commissioners. If YOLl

SUBJECT: Cedar Ridge PUD (LUAR 97-001) - Request for Land Use Amendment/Rezoning
INTRODUCTION
Joseph F. Basile, agent for the Cedar Ridge Development Corporation, 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 Exhibit "A") be rezoned and that the Future
Land Use Plan designation be amended. The current land use and zoning on the property are
Low Density Residential and PUD (Planned Unit Development), respectively. To prepare this
property for eventual use by the school, the applicant is requesting that the property be
reclassified to Public & Private Governmental/Institutional and rezoned to R-1AA, Single Family
Residential.
HISTORY
In February of 1995, a master plan modification was approved for the Cedar Ridge Estates
PUD, located immediately south of the Lake Worth Christian School. The modification in part
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 and
reclassifying the subject property consistent with the adjacent school property in preparation for
eventual acquisition and use by the school. The land use amendment and rezoning process
was first initiated in February 1995. However, due to the time taken to address conditions of
approval necessary prior to the adoption of ordinances, the process needed to be reinitiated
and readvertised.
This rezoning/land use amendment process has again been initiated as a condition of
approving the recent Cedar Ridge Estates plat (and of the 1994 master plan modification).
Specifically, the plat was approved conditioned upon the submittal of this request for land use
amendment and rezoning prior to issuance of a building permit for the current multifamily
project, and upon the adoption of the ordinances for land use amendment and rezoning prior to
the issuance of a certificate of occupancy. It should be noted that the conditions of the request
initiated in 1995 have now been addressed.
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)
/
Cedar Ridge PUDfLWCS Amendr....nt and Rezoning - LUAR 97-001
City Commission Agenda Memorandum No. 97- 504
Page 2
following the adoption of ordinances. This request will be transmitted to the DCA as a small
scale comprehensive' plan amendment, and will follow DCA's abbreviated review schedule.
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 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

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 that could result
from development of the property are as follows:
7.a. "Whether the proposed rezoning would be consistent with applicable
Comprehensive Plan policies including, but not limited to, a prohibition against any
increase in dwelling unit density exceeding 50 in the hurricane evacuation zone without
written approval of the Palm Beach County Emergency Management Division and the
city's risk manager. The planning department shall also recommend limitations or
requirements that would have to be imposed on subsequent development of the
property, in order to comply with policies contained in the comprehensive plan."
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. n
:z
Cedar Ridge PUD/LWCS Amendr. .It and Rezoning - LUAR 97-001
City Commission Agenda Memorandum No. 97- 504
Page 3
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
through separation from these rights-of-way by the school's recreation uses. Although several
of these single family homes are on the periphery of the revised PUD boundary, and as a
consequence of the amendment, would 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 when the site plan for the School's recreation is processed.
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:
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
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 property; however, this site is
small and physically typical of adjacent, developed properties. Furthermore, policies such as
those above will insure 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_"S or e"
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...".
3
Cedar Ridge PUD/LWCS Ameno....mt and Rezoning -lUAR 97-001
City Commission Agenda Memorandum No. 97- 504
Page 4
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 resource 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 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 1-95 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 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: The Palm Beach County Traffic Division has determined that the project meets the
requirements of the Palm Beach County Traffic Performance Standards Ordinance. If
expansion of the School's recreational facilities is intended to accommodate additional students
in the future, the traffic generated by the additional students will need to be addressed by the
lake Worth Christian School when the property is site planned. However, the property is
4
Cedar Ridge PUD/LWCS Amendr. ~jlt and Rezoning - LUAR 97-001
City Commission Agenda Memorandum No. 97- 504
Page 5
vested for the amount of traffic that would have been generated by the 11 single family lots.
This can be applied toward any future request for additional students.
Water/Sewer: The impact of the rezoning upon utilities was reviewed during the previous
attempt to reclassify and rezone this property. It has been determined 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 when the recreation uses are site
planned 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 also reviewed the impacts of this request when
previously considered and did 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 in
1995 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 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 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.

The Planning and Zoning Division recommends that the application submitted by Joseph F.
Basile be approved, subject to those conditions documented in Exhibit "Bn - Conditions of

SUBJECT: Cedar Ridge PUD (LUAR 97-001) - Request for Land Use Amendment/Rezoning
INTRODUCTION
Joseph F. Basile, agent for the Cedar Ridge Development Corporation, 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 Exhibit "A") be rezoned and that the Future
Land Use Plan designation be amended. The current land use and zoning on the property are
Low Density Residential and PUD (Planned Unit Development), respectively. To prepare this
property for eventual use by the school, the applicant is requesting that the property be
reclassified to Public & Private Governmental/Institutional and rezoned to R-1AA, Single Family
Residential.
HISTORY
In February of 1995, a master plan modification was approved for the Cedar Ridge Estates
PUD, located immediately south of the Lake Worth Christian School. The modification in part
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 and
reclassifying the subject property consistent with the adjacent school property in preparation for
eventual acquisition and use by the school. The land use amendment and rezoning process
was first initiated in February 1995. However, due to the time taken to address conditions of
approval necessary prior to the adoption of ordinances, the process needed to be reinitiated
and readvertised.
This rezoning/land use amendment process has again been initiated as a condition of
approving the recent Cedar Ridge Estates plat (and of the 1994 master plan modification).
Specifically, the plat was approved conditioned upon the submittal of this request for land use
amendment and rezoning prior to issuance of a building permit for the current multifamily
project, and upon the adoption of the ordinances for land use amendment and rezoning prior to
the issuance of a certificate of occupancy. It should be noted that the conditions of the request
initiated in 1995 have now been addressed.
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)
I

following the adoption of ordinances. This request will be transmitted to the DCA as a small
scale comprehensive plan amendment, and will follow DCA's abbreviated review schedule.
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 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.

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 that could result
from development of the property are as follows:
7.a. "Whether the proposed rezoning would be consistent with applicable
Comprehensive Plan policies including, but not limited to, a prohibition against any
increase in dwelling unit density exceeding 50 in the hurricane evacuation zone without
written approval of the Palm Beach County Emergency Management Division and the
city's risk manager. The planning department shall also recommend limitations or
requirements that would have to be imposed on subsequent development of the
property, in order to comply with policies contained in the comprehensive plan."
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."
.;z
Cedar Ridge PUD/LWCS Amenument and Rezoning - LUAR 97-001
City Commission Agenda Memorandum No. 97- 504
Page 3
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
through separation from these rights-of-way by the school's recreation uses. Although several
of these single family homes are on the periphery of the revised PUD boundary, and as a
consequence of the amendment, would 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 when the site plan for the School's recreation is processed.
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:
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 insure 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. ";
Policv 4.4.1 - "... the City shall require... a detailed flora and fauna survey on any_"B or C"
rated site...; and
Policv 1.11.14 - "... provide for open space preservation by requiring the preservation of
25% of all "A", "B", and "C": rated sites...".
3
Cedar Ridge PUD/LWCS Amenument and Rezoning - LUAR 97-001
City Commission Agenda Memorandum No. 97- 504
Page 4
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 resource 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 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 1-95 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 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: The Palm Beach County Traffic Division has determined that the project meets the
requirements of the Palm Beach County Traffic Performance Standards Ordinance. If
expansion of the School's recreational facilities is intended to accommodate additional students
in the future, the traffic generated by the additional students will need to be addressed by the
Lake Worth Christian School when the property is site planned. However, the property is
4-

City Commission Agenda Memorandum No. 97- 504
Page 5
vested for the amount of traffic that would have been generated by the 11 single family lots.
This can be applied toward any future request for additional students.
Water/Sewer: The impact of the rezoning upon utilities was reviewed during the previous
attempt to reclassify and rezone this property. It has been determined 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 when the recreation uses are site
planned 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 also reviewed the impacts of this request when
previously considered and did 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 in
1995 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 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 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.
RECOMMENDATION
The Planning and Zoning Division recommends that the application submitted by Joseph F.
Basile be approved, subject to those conditions documented in Exhibit "B" - Conditions of
Approval.

Cedar Ridge PUD/LWCS LUAR 97-001
Dan,
Please take over responsibility for this petition as first exposure to the land use
amendment/rezoning process. This application is relatively simple, but understand that the
process was initiated a few years ago and then abandoned. It is now required as a condition of
the plat (application to be reinitiated prior to first permit, and to have been adopted by ordinance
prior to first CO-you will need to research this to confirm details to be provided in staff report).
Begin by reviewing previous application and report under Lake Worth Christian School,
particularly to understand reason for expiration of original application, and review the minutes
from Plat approval to determine precisely the conditions of approval. Also, review the relevant
information establishing the process in the Code book and in state law (e.g. FAC 9j-5 and FS
163 - you should have your own udpated set from the EAR project) to get all details of the
process. Also, determine first if the application must follow the small scale amendment route or
a large scale route; the deadlines for property owner notices, the details and format for notifying
IPARC (see forms in file) and the newspaper; deadline and information needed in the staff
report and agenda memorandums; and I would recommend placing some of this information
within the form of a monitoring chart. Also, plan for timely coordination with legal to have
ordinances created.
To help you get started, and to ensure that the first deadline is met, begin research in City code
(Section 2, Chpt 9) and FS 163 to review such requirements including property owner
notification procedures and legal ad requirements. Also keep in mind we typically prepare one
notice which meets requirements of both property owner notice and legal (newspaper) ad.
Lastly, Joe Basile is the agent and particularly concerned party as he is processing the
project/plat that is conditioned this LUAR and of course does not want this process to interfere
with his processing of the multi-family project at Cedar Ridge.
ProcessinQ Schedule:
TRC - 9/23/97 (atypical for TRC to review LUARs, per Director's request as it involves a
master plan and with intention of disclosing anything relative to utilities, the original master plan,
etc.
P&D - 10/28/97
City Commission - 11/18/97
Lastly, have the monitoring chart drafted by September 19th, and as a reminder, please begin
providing me again with weekly EAR amendment products beginning September 12th, at which
time we will again start meeting weekly to discuss EAR amendment progress (and the LUAR
project progress). Lets always plan on meeting around 2:00 or 3:00 beginning on the 12th.
Lets try to start picking up the pace on the EAR amendment project. If we have to
revise/reformat the EAR/Plan computer file ourselves, lets plan accordingly.
Thanks, Mike

LAKE WORTH CHRISTIAN SCHOOL
TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS
INTRODUCTION
The Lake Worth Christian School proposes to expand their existing school in the City of
Boynton Beach. The existing site is located south of Hypoluxo on High Ridge Road (Exhibit
1). Access to the site exists via a driveway connection to High Ridge Road. The proposed
buildout of the project is 1996.
The purpose of this analysis is to determine if the proposed land use changes meet the
requirements of the Traffic Performance Standards, Section 7.9 of the Palm Beach County
Unified Land Development Code.
DEVELOPMENT DATA
The existing Lake Worth Christian School consists of a middle school and a high school. The
enrollment from 6th grade to 12th grade is approximately 350 students. The proposed expansion
will include a middle school and an elementary school with other ancillary facilities including
an auditorium and tennis courts. An additional 350 elementary and middle school students is
projected bringing the total enrollment to 700 students.
EXISTING TRAFFIC CONDITIONS
Existing (1994) 24-hour average daily traffic volumes provided by the Metropolitan Planning
1
~
-@
Organization of Palm Beach County are shown on Exhibit 2 for the surrounding roadway
network. Peak hour volumes, also shown on Exhibit 2, were determined by factoring the
average annual daily traffic volumes by a "K" factor of 9.1 %. Existing roadway laneages and
levels of services are also shown on this exhibit.
The major roadways providing access to the Project include:
· Hypoluxo Road
· High Ridge Road
· [-95
H ypoluxo Road has four lanes east of 1-95 and six lanes west of 1-95. High Ridge Road is a two
lane facility south of Hypoluxo Road. 1-95 is a six lane divided expressway throughout the study
area.
ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS
The FY 95-99 Transportation Improvement Program from the MPO of Palm Beach County was
reviewed to determine if any roadways within the study area are scheduled to be improved. The
construction of auxiliary lanes on 1-95 from Hypoluxo Road to Lantana Road is scheduled for
construction in FY 97-98. No other roadways within the study area are programmed for
improvement.
FUTURE BACKGROUND TRAFFIC
In order to properly account for future traffic conditions historic growth trends and committed
development traffic in the area must be analyzed. Historic growth data for the last three years
2
[E
-@
was examined for"the surrounding area and is shown on Exhibit 3. Growth along Hypoluxo
Road east and west of 1-95 has shown a decrease for the past three years, while Gateway
Boulevard has shown a significant increase. This difference is due to the opening of the
Gateway Boulevard/I-95 interchange which diverted traffic from Hypoluxo Road to Gateway
Boulevard. Although this decrease in traffic on Hypoluxo Road may continue for a few more
years, in order to provide a conservative analysis, a north/south screenline of the counts of
Hypoluxo Road and Gateway Boulevard was examined as shown on Exhibit 3. This growth rate
was applied to those links in the study area where negative growth has been occurring.
In projecting future traffic conditions, growth from committed developments in addition to
historic growth needs to be examined. The major projects list published by Palm Beach County
was used to identify major projects within the area. No major projects are projected to have a
10% impact on the study area roadways within the buildout time frame of the proposed
development.
TRIP GENERATION
Section 10.8 of the Palm Beach County Unified Land Development Code, Fair Share Impact
Fees was reviewed to determine if any applicable trip generation rates could be utilized. There
were no trip generation rates for schools. Therefore, the Institute of Transportation Engineers
(ITE), Trip Generation, 5th Edition was the sole source of the daily and peak hour trip
generation data utilized in this study. The trips associated with the proposed development are
shown on Exhibit 4.
3
~
-@
In determining compliance with the requirements of the Traffic Performance Standards, the daily
trip generation of 382 trips, shown on Exhibit 4, was utilized. Based on this daily trip
generation, the Test 1 radius of development influence is one half mile. The Test 2 radius of
development influence is only the directly-accessed link.
TRIP DISTRmUTION AND ASSIGNMENT
In order to determine the impact of the proposed development's traffic on the surrounding
roadway network, a directional distribution was developed to be used in assigning traffic
volumes associated with the project. Existing residential land use patterns were considered in
determining the assignment of project traffic to the surrounding roadway network. Exhibit 5
shows the overall assignment of daily net new project traffic.
LINK TEST (TEST 1)
The first step in this analysis was to identify if any roadway links required to be analyzed are
projected to operate below adopted levels of service. Exhibits 6A, 6B and 6C show future total
daily, AM and PM peak hour traffic conditions respectively. No analyzed roadway link is
projected to operate below the adopted levels of service, therefore, the requirements of Test 1
have been met.
MODEL TEST (TEST 2)
The next step in the analysis was to determine if the proposed development met the requirements
of the Model Test, Test 2, of the Traffic Performance Standards. High Ridge Road from
4
~
@
Hypoluxo Road to Gateway Boulevard is the directly accessed link required to be analyzed.
This roadway link is not a Test 2 deficiency, therefore, the proposed development meets the
requirements of Test 2.
INTERSECTION ANALYSIS
In addition to the Link Test and Model Test, major intersections for which a project adds more
than 10% of the total traffic on any link connecting a major intersection must also be analyzed.
In analyzing the proposed development's impact in the study area, no intersections meet this
requirement. AM peak hour driveway turning movement volumes, the critical peak hour, are
provided on Exhibit 7.
CONCLUSIONS
From this analysis, the proposed development meets all of the requirements of the Traffic
Performance Standards of Palm Beach County.
