Mobil Oil Corporation
2605 SW 15th Avenue (Northwest corner of Woolbright Road and
Congress Avenue)
CONDITIONAL USE APPROVAL Request for
conditional use approval to raze an existing service station
and construct a 3,084 square foot gas station with a
convenience store and a car wash on ,879 acres of land
Attorney Cherof administered the oath to all who would testify during the proceedings for Items
Band G.
Anna Cottrell, 319 Clematis Street, Suite 804, West Palm Beach, is a planner and the agent
representing Mobil Oil. The intent of this application is to contemporize the station to take it from
service and retail sales of gasoline to a modern convenience store with gas sales and a car
wash. Ms, Cottrell thanked staff for the work they have done with the applicant on the
conditions. Ms. Cottrell said there are only two conditions (lighting and building appearance) at
issue.
Condition #31 - "In order to avoid excessive illumination and glare to
passing motorists caused by lights under the pump island canopy, raise
the elevation of the undercanopy by two feet. The fascia board height and
elevation shall remain as proposed. Also, the photometries plan
submitted shows illumination points ranging from 88 foot candles down
to 3.9 foot candles, whereas the convenience store security ordinance
only requires a minimum of two foot candles. Reduce the lighting levels
so that no point exceeds 10 foot candles."
During the Planning & Development Board meeting, there was discussion relative to the levels
of illumination recommended by staff. The applicant did not have an expert present during that
meeting. Ms. Cottrell said the recommendation has an absolute maximum on levels of
illumination measured in foot candles. She requested that this item be deleted in its entirety. If
that is not acceptable, she recommends that it be reworded to indicate that the site lighting shall
meet the standards identified in the Land Development Regulations, Chapter 2, Section 4.N.
Ms. Cottrell feels it is appropriate to either eliminate this recommendation entirely or make it
more general because the factors involved in determining site illumination are more complex
than just picking a number for maximum foot candles. The amount of illumination will be
determined in part by the number of light fixtures, height of light fixtures, the type of fixture, and
its location. In this case, Mobil understands there was a concern with the amount of lighting that
was being used at the Amoco station across the street. Tests were done last week to determine
the lighting levels at the Amoco station and the Mobil station at Congress and Hypoluxo. There
have been no complaints about the lighting at the Mobil station on Congress Avenue and
Hypoluxo Road.
The requirements of Condition #31 will create an unsafe situation and the site will appear dark.
Although there is a reference that there is a minimum of two foot candles recommended by the
W:\NFO\COMM MIN.NFO
State for convenience stores, this would only provide as much lighting as a full moon. This will
not provide enough lighting on the site to conduct business outside.
If the Commission were not comfortable eliminating the condition in its entirety, the applicant
would be agreeable to indicating that the lighting shall be at those levels required to comply with
Code. These are performance standards that require no spill-over and no glare.
In response to Mayor Taylor's question regarding the results of the tests at Amoco, Mr. Chris
East said the readings averaged 60 to 65 taken at 12 different points under the canopy. As an
industry standard, lighting has taken a very big turn. The industry standard now is between 75
and 130 foot candles underneath the canopy. To promote 10 foot candle maximum on a site
would be impossible, The site would appear to be closed and it would create a security
problem.
Mayor Taylor feels the Amoco station is brightly lit at 60 to 65. Mr. East agreed with Mayor
Taylor that the Amoco station is adequately lit.
Ms. Heyden advised that we have our own convenience store security ordinance that overrides
this chapter of the LDRs. When the ratio is applied to the minimum, there is a maximum of 10
foot candles. Staff identified the problem to be the blinding light at the pump islands that is
visible from the thoroughfare. For this reason the Planning & Development Board settled on the
language which included baffling the light fixtures so that the illumination is directed downward
rather than outward. Ms. Heyden consulted with Gee & Jensen and they advised that 10 foot
candles are very light. She feels the applicant's request is excessive. The spread does not
meet our Code.
Commissioner Bradley questioned whether the applicant would have to apply for a variance.
Ms. Heyden was not certain a variance was applicable in this case. Attorney Cherof advised
that there is no variance procedure set forth in this section of the Code.
Mayor Taylor is of the opinion that you cannot relate the lighting of a convenience store to the
lighting of a gas station. The concern should be with the amount of lighting at the pump islands
because people are conducting business at those islands.
Ms. Heyden clarified that the Code refers to the parking lot outside the convenience store. The
Code requires a maximum of 10 foot candles.
Ms. Cottrell pointed out that if the maximum is 10 foot candles, there is not a convenience store
or gas station within the City that complies with the Code. There are ways to meet the
objectives of not excessively lighting the site so as to create glare or spillover. In the
performance standard, there is no number associated with levels of illumination. Ms. Cottrell is
not familiar with the section of the Code mentioned this evening. Ms. Cottrell is willing to work
with the City to achieve the objectives the City wants.
Vice Mayor Titcomb agrees that perhaps 10 foot candles are not adequate, but feels it might be
necessary to set some limits. He suggested that the lighting expert and staff take lighting levels
W:\NFO\COMM MIN.NFO
~[-L__UliJfC_ nIJUlllllDUlrtl.~.
at a site the community is comfortable with (Amoco or Mobil at Congress and Hypoluxo) in order
for us to craft parameters for this site. He is not comfortable leaving this open ended.
Commissioner Jaskiewicz does not feel this Commission can deviate from what is existing on an
opposite corner, and Mayor Taylor does not believe RaceTrac conforms to this Code.
In response to a question about this Code from Commissioner Bradley, Attorney Cherof advised
that this Code was adopted in November of 1990.
Ms. Cottrell agreed that Mobil is amenable to a condition that the lights either be recessed or
baffled so that there is no excessive glare.
Ms. Heyden advised that staff has a light meter. They can take light readings at different
locations throughout the City and come up with a standard.
Ms. Cottrell is agreeable to working with staff to try to arrive at a level of lighting the City will be
comfortable with. She said Mr. East and his company could offer their expertise.
Commissioner Bradley feels a standard is necessary to ensure safety and to define glare. He is
anxious to have the applicant and staff work together to arrive at some figures.
Ms. Heyden advised that the other issue to be addressed deals with the building appearance.
The conditions involved are:
Condition #18 - Eliminate the bright yellow, translucent back-lit fascia (LDR,
Chapter 3, Section 10.F.5); and
Condition #19 -It is recommended that the eggshell stucco fascia proposed
for the car wash be utilized on fascias of the proposed buildings and
structures in order to achieve a more unified site as is required by Chapter
9 - Community Design Plan; Section 11.C.
Ms. Cottrell explained that what was proposed was a building design that included a translucent
back-lit fascia board 36" in height and yellow in color. At the Planning & Development Board
meeting, a good rendering was not available. The applicant is now proposing that the building
for the convenience store include a band of yellow. They are willing to eliminate the request for
back-lit panels and do it on stucco. Mobil feels this is an important issue. There have been
many modifications to the plan to meet the standards for Boynton Beach. Some of those
modifications include the roof treatment in Spanish tiles on all three elements including the
canopy. The amount of signage is also being reduced.
From the market research, Mobil knows the customer needs to see a distinction between the
goods they buy at the convenience store and the gasoline station. This is a mini-mart type of
convenience store which offers a wider range of goods than a convenience store. This is not
corporate architecture, and it is not intrusive or objectionable. Ms, Cottrell displayed a new
elevation depicting a truer shade of yellow. She also displayed the color chip.
W:\NFO\COMM MIN.NFO
Regular City Commission Meeting 05/02/00
Commissioner Jaskiewicz questioned whether Mobil would consider reducing the size of the
color band, However, Commissioner Bradley feels the band needs to be 36", but noted that the
color chip, which is the true shade of yellow, is brighter than what was displayed on the
elevation. He requested that the shade of yellow be toned down one or two shades to more
closely match the shade of yellow displayed on the elevation.
Ms. Cottrell was agreeable to working with the manufacturer to tone down the shade of yellow.
MAYOR TAYLOR ANNOUNCED THE PUBLIC HEARING. THERE WAS NO ONE PRESENT
WHO WISHED TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM.

Motion
Commissioner Jaskiewicz moved to approve the request for conditional use approval to raze an
existing service station and construct a 3,084 square foot service station with a convenience
store and a car wash on .879 acres of land subject to staff comments taking into consideration
they are going to reduce the bright yellow and with regard to Condition #31, they will meet with
staff to determine the lighting level, and delete Condition #34.
Attorney Cherof requested more definition regarding the motion.
Ms. Cottrell suggested eliminating Condition #18, and change Condition #19 to read that the
fascia is to be yellow, consistent with the color in the elevation that is submitted for the record.
Commissioner Jaskiewicz was agreeable with Ms. Cottrell's suggestion.
Ms, Cottrell confirmed that the Commission was accepting the staff recommendations as
amended by the Planning & Development Board.
Mayor Taylor clarified that Condition #18 was being eliminated, Condition #19 is being amended
to reflect the color as presented in the elevation, and with regard to Condition #31, the site
illumination levels are subject to specific approval by the City Commission following staff
recommendation. No building permit shall be issued until the entry of a supplementary
Development Order addressing this issue.
Attorney Cherof advised Ms. Cottrell that it would be necessary to come back before the City
Commission for approval of an Order that addresses the lighting.
Ms. Cottrell said the applicant must come back for signage.
Vice Mayor Titcomb seconded the motion which carried 4-0.
G Approve Zoning Code Variance request for Mobil Service
Station to Chapter 2 - Zoning, Section 11.L.3.d(1) of the
W:\NFO\COMM MIN.NFO
Boynton Beach Land Development Regulations to allow an
access driveway located 65' rather than the required 110' from
the intersecting right-of-way lines of Woolbright Road and
Congress Avenue
Motion
Vice Mayor Titcomb moved approval of the Zoning Code variance request for Mobil Station
requesting the distance change on the access driveway. Commissioner Bradley seconded the
motion,
A gentleman from the audience expressed concern about the customers who will no longer have
a place to take their cars for service. With the elimination of the bays, no service will be
performed at this location. He said this is a good service station and the customers have been
well pleased.
Mayor Taylor explained that the Commission cannot dictate how a parcel of property is
developed.
The motion carried 4-0.

To correct the above-referenced development order, please revise condition 19 and 31 to
reference" See attached transcription of minutes" and attach a copy of the transcribed portion of
the meeting that verifies and proves the outcome of these two conditions only. My recollection
is that what you've written for #19 also belongs under #31 and I have no recollection, and can't
understand the abbreviated minutes of the #19 discussion. Since this is being disputed by the
applicant, the only proof of what happened is a transcription, rather than an interpretation, of

RE: MOBIL STA TIONI NORTHWEST CORNER CONGRESS AVENUE AND

Dear Michael:
We received your fax and your telephone message regarding Mobil Oil's presented proposal for
lighting at the above referenced station. As we discussed, we have had several meetings with the
City staff over the last half year, and we have expressed our desire to resolve this issue as quickly
as possible so that Mobil can proceed with permitting for this facility. We understand that your
response to Mobil's proposal is that the station lighting meet "industry standards". This
response, regrettably, fails to resolve anything on this matter.
Our lighting experts at LSI Industries have confirmed that the "industry standards" presented in
your fax have been taken from "The Lighting System Design Considerations" within the IES
Lighting Handbook. LSI research indicates that the lighting levels included in this text were
formulated in the 1960's, and are wholly inadequate for a contemporary service station design. In
his June 1, 1998 letter, a copy of which is attached, LSI's Scott Ready writes: "... the greatest
motivation that major oil companies have had for increasing their investment in lighting at their
sites has not been to add to merchandising power as much as it has been"! reaction t.) t]1e liability
pressures and security concerns that have begun to dominate the convenience, retail fulling, and
quick service food industries". Mr. Ready writes further: "The security of employees and of local
customers has become a major motivation to increase lighting in an industry which has seen a
magnified effect of this country's crime increase."
LSI's research indicates the regulations of the State of Florida, to which City staff has made
reference in earlier discussions, mandate minimum levels of light on locations on which non-
family employees work, in order to protect both the employee and the customer. Mobil's
proposal for site lighting provides what is considered currently in the industry as the minimum
level of lighting sufficient to protect customers and employees, and is equivalent to what is
incorporated in virtually all contemporary service station site design, The lighting is also entirely
consistent with other stations which have been approved by the City.

It is always been our desire to reach an agreement with the City staff regarding the lighting
levels, and to avoid airing this issue with the City Commission since it is one which must be
based on science, and not at all politics, Since we have not been able to reach such an agreement,
we are requesting that we meet with you and Bulent Kastarlak as soon as possible, perhaps
anytime on June 15 or the afternoon of the 16th. Please give me a call at your earliest
convemence.

Dear Daniel,
In response to your request for information on industry lighting trends and
standards, and issues relating to the need for adequate light levels in today's
service station environment. I would like to take a few moments to share with
you what we see in today's market.
For the most part, the major oil companies selling through retail facilities
across the country have set some very similar goals with regard to lighting.
Exxon, Shell, BP, Texaco, Mobil and Sun have been increasing the level of light
on their facilities gradually for the last 5-7 years. Area lighting has become a
more important element as it has expanded its role from simple approach
identification to a tool for overall site illumination used in conjunction with the
canopy fixtures. Minimum levels for site lighting have been rising steadily for the
last few years to a minimum of 3 to 5 footcandles in most cases. Canopy fixture
levels have been traditionally anywhere from 75 to 130 footcandles for new
installations depending upon the location. To understand what levels are
appropriate or adequate, you need to look at the motivations for change from the
levels of the past as well as the operating differences in the environment.
Contrary to popular belief among some regulating zoning bodies, the
greatest motivation that major oil companies have had for increasing their
investment in lighting at their sites has not been to add to merchandising power
as much as it has been a reaction to the liability pressures and security concerns
that have begun to dominate the convenience, retail fueling, and quick service
food industries. The security of employees and of local customers has become a
major motivation to increase lighting in an industry which has seen a magnified
effect of this country's crime increase.

The State of Florida has led the way with regulations mandating minimum levels
of light on all locations in which non-family employees work. This was done to
protect both the employee and the local citizen customer. The quick service
restaurant industry, increasingly sensitive to customer injury liability has put
forth a major push to increase light levels at all their facilities. While some
communities feel that they are trying to protect their constituents by limiting the
allowed light levels at facilities, they may in fact be responsible for setting in
place the environment which will attract more of the crime element that they
normally try to discourage. Today it is not uncommon for a major oil company to
have to answer in a court of law to a complainant who claims to have been
injured or assaulted as the result of negligent conditions such as poor lighting.
Who will answer if that poor lighting was the result of local restrictions?
Recent studies and publications available from OSHA illustrate how
services stations have become categorized near the top of the list in terms of
high risk establishments. These same studies show that lighting is a major
factor in crime prevention. (See attached) OSHA's recommendations seem to
promote the concept of raising light levels over those commonly found in the
industry. This is in direct contradiction to recent proposals from some
communities to reduce levels of lighting for new locations below those levels of
existing locations in the same area.
The Illuminating Engineering Society's (IES) manual that deals with lighting
levels at retail petroleum sites is often quoted as the "source" of lighting
recommendations for some zoning boards. Please find attached a copy of page
2-16. These levels have not changed since the mid-sixties. During the sixties, all
petroleum sites were full-service with an employee of the owner being
responsible for handling the fueling process. This was his full time job and he
was trained to operate the equipment. Most facilities closed at earlier hours as
the closing time matched the travel and buying habits of the population. Crime,
self-service, and today's more hectic schedules are all factors which were not
taken into effect when the manual was last edited. We are now seeing the IES
manual under review with respect to the quick service restaurant industry and
hope to see the petroleum section updated shortly after.

Dear Mike:
Thank you for your fax this week regarding the above reference. As you know Mobil has
submitted applications for building permits for this site. A resolution of the issues related to the
site lighting will allow Mobil to complete its construction permitting, so we are pleased to have
apparently reached agreement with your office on appropriate and allowed lighting levels.
The Conditional Use approval for the station required final approval by the City Commission of
the specific condition related to the lighting levels for this site. Weare respectfully requesting
that this matter be submitted to the City Commission for consideration at the earliest possible
date. Please feel free to give me a call if you need anything in order to process this request.
Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter.

FROM:
John S. Yeend, P,E" City Engineer ~
June 26, 1998
DATE:
RE:
MOBILE LIGHTING
In accordance with your request, I reviewed the lighting material provided. Additionally, 1
reviewed the City and County Codes related to lighting, As a result of this review, 1 have the
following comments or opinions:
1, The" Lighting System Design Considerations" (copy attached) are recommended minimum
standards published by the Illumination Engineers Society (IES), This is probably the most
comprehensive and widely accepted lighting standard used today,
2, The two page report by Lucas Ford Assoc. (copy attached) shows the results of their lighting
survey performed on Oct. 28,1997, The survey consisted of measurements of lighting
intensities in foot-candles (FC) at 7 local service stations, The measurements were taken
under the fuel island canopies at grade and listed in foot-candles. The average was also listed
and ranged from 30.3 FC to 77,8 FC with 4 of the stations having averages over 60 Fe.
3. The IES suggests a minimum under canopy lighting level of30 Fe. The existing 7 stations
averaged 180 percent of the IES minimum value,
4. The proposed Mobil Station has submitted a lighting plan revised to reflect the use of
shielded lights, This plan indicates the average under canopy lighting to be 68.2 FC without
shields and 90.6 FC with shields. This is 26 and 68 percent respectively above the average of
the 7 existing local stations,
5, The City of Boynton Beach does not have a code that regulates or limits the lighting intensity
except to prohibit producing a glare on adjacent properties. [LDR Chapter 9, Section
1O.F.2,J
6, Palm Beach County regulates lighting through their code Chapter 7, Section 7,8.B, (copy
attached). This code limits light spillover and prohibits certain lights. Should the City desire
to amend their code, I recommend the County code as a guide,
In conclusion, the proposed Mobile lighting in the vicinity of the pump islands is relatively
consistent with other stations in the City, The proposed Mobile lighting appears to be allowed
under the current City code,

"RE: MOBIL STATION AT WOOLBRIGHT ROAD AND CONGRESS AVENUE
, Dear Mike:
Thank you for your fax this week regarding the above reference. As you know Mobil has
submitted applications for building permits for this site. A resolution of the issues related to the
site lighting will allow Mobil to complete its construction permitting, so we are pleaSed to have
apparently reached agreement with your office on appropriate and allowed lighting levels,
The Conditional Use approval for the station required final approval by the City Commission of
the specific condition related to the lighting levels for this site. We are respectfully requesting
that this matter be submitted to the City Commission for consideration at the earliest possible
date. Please feel free to give me a call if you need anything in order to process this request.
Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter.
Sincerely,

RE: DEVELOPMENT ORDER FOR MOBIL STATION I WOOLBRIGHT AND
CONGRESS AVENUE
Dear T ambri:
This office received a copy of the Mobil Oil Corporation (Conditional Use and Zoning Code
Variance) revised Development Order via fax transmission on November 26,
A notation on the cover sheet for the fax transmission indicated that the "previous Development
Orders issued were in error regarding conditional use conditions # 19 and 32, and incomplete".
Please note that in the latest version of the Development Order condition # 19 is still not worded
correctly, i.e., that is it does not accurately reflect the action by the City Commission. I believe
the minutes of the meeting properly reflect that the City Commission approved a yellow fascia
on the convenience store building, the color to be consistent with that shown on the elevation
submitted for the record at the City Commission meeting,
I am respectfully requ~sting by this letter that the Development Order for the Mobil Station be
revised to correctly reflect all conditions imposed by the City Commission,
Please feel free to give me a call if you have any questions regarding this,
Sincerely,
~

RE: MOBILE SITE 02-AL5
Dear Ms. Heyden:
The Palm Beach County Traffic Division has reviewed the traffic impact
study for the project entitled Mobile Site 02-AL5, pursuant to the Traffic
Performance Standards in Article 15 of the Palm Beach County Land
Development Code, The project is on the northwest corner of
Woolbright Road and Congress Avenue. The project is reported to
replace the existing 4-pump gas station with a 6-pump gas station,
replace the existing 2,415 square foot convenience store with a 2,436
square foot convenience store, and add a car wash.
There are three calculation errors in the trip generation section of the
report. They are:
- The County methodology for adding gas pumps.
- The calculation of pass-by traffic after internal traffic credit.
- The tripgeneraticn rate for a car wash.
The attached table shows the trip generation calculations. The project
will generate 240 additional daily trips, The changes do not change the
results of the traffic study.
