vegetation of any significance. A 6 foot chainlink fence and hedge extend along
the western boundary. There is a utility easement along the south property line. To .

the rear of the site is a 40 foot buffer easement with a 4 foot dirt pile in its western
comer. A utility easement (FPL overhead power line) runs along the north side of
the lot.
Proposed
Development:
The developer is proposing the construction of a 18,408 square foot, 25.25 foot
high, one-story (with mezzanine) Warehouse/Office facility, with related parking
(see Exhibit "B" - proposed site plan). The proposed project consists of the
following breakdown of uses:
Industrial or warehouse - 15, 104 square feet
Commercial/Office - 1,652 square feet
Storage mezzanine - 1,652 square feet
Concurrency:
a. Traffic - Projects with proposed traffic generation rates of less that 500 net vehicle
trips per day do not require a full traffic impact analysis as part of this
review process. The submitted traffic generation report shows that the
proposed traffic generation rate would yield 114 new daily trips. The
submitted traffic study has been forwarded to the Palm Beach County
Traffic Division to obtain written confirmation that the project complies
with the county's traffic performance standards.
b. Drainage - Conceptual drainage information was provided for the city's review. The
Engineering Division is recommending that the review of specific drainage
solutions be deferred to time of permit review.
Driveways: Proposed on-site traffic circulation consists of a 27-foot wide dead-end entry drive
aisle, from Commerce Road. The drive aisle accesses twenty-two spaces, which
include one handicapped space. The parking area consists of the standard 9 feet
by 18 feet parking spaces.
Parking Facility: There are 22 parking spaces proposed, including one (1) space designated as
handicapped accessible. The plan does currently exceed the parking requirements
as stated in the Land Development Regulations, Chapter 2 - Zoning and ADA.
The requirements for a PID are based on the one and one-half (1- In) spaces for
two (2) employee formula. The projected number of employees (14) for the use
results in the requirement of 11 parking spaces. In addition, the plan provides for
8 visitor parking spaces.
Landscaping: The landscaping of the site will fully meet code requirements when staff comments
are incorporated. The development will be provided with the required amount of
perimeter and internal landscaping as required in the Land Development
Regulations, Chapter 7.5 Article nt and the approved High Ridge Park PID
perimeter landscape plan.

Building and Site
Regulations:
Building and site regulations will fully meet code when staff comments are
incorporated into the pennit drawings.
Community Design
Plan:
The proposed warehouse building is of a typical "big box" style with entries at
each end. The building is constructed with the pre-engineered metal wall and roof
panels. Each wall panel separates the individual bay evenly, providing for exterior
symmetry. The wall panels are all white, with details featured in green. Overall,
the building facades and colors are consistent with its surroundings (in particular,
with green detailing similar to the adjacent Kilpatrick building).
Signage:
No project site or wall signage is proposed at this point. If signage is subsequently
proposed, a separate submittal to the Planning and Zoning Division will be required.
RECOMME~1>ATION:
The Planning and Zoning Division recommends that this request for site plan approval be approved,
subject to the comments included in Exhibit "c" - Conditions of Approval. Staff also recommends that
the deficiencies identified in this exhibit be corrected on the set of plans submitted for building pennit.
